Ax51 User's Guide

Comments

Comments are lines of text that you may include in your program to identify and explain the program. Comments are ignored by the Ax51 assembler and are not required in order to generate working programs.

You may include comments anywhere in your assembler program. Comments must be preceded with a semicolon character (;). A comment can appear on a line by itself or can appear at the end of an instruction. For example:

;This is a comment
                     NOP        ;This is also a comment

When the assembler recognizes the semicolon character on a line, it ignores subsequent text on that line. Anything that appears on a line to the right of a semicolon will be ignored by the Ax51 assembler. Comments have no impact on object file generation or the code contained therein.
